you know the theory about Belial essentially being the embodiment of Lucio's undesirable traits is really funny to me because most of those are also traits i do not like in Lucio, but i like them just fine in Belial. i think it's the context (see: Belial being pretty unabashed about being toxic and manipulative and morally dubious and never trying to present himself as trustworthy, he's not our friend, and he has the established purpose of "eat hot chip and lie") and not the traits for me but it makes me feel like the "hello, human resources" comic lmao

LKDJFDKJDFLK FAIR.

I adore Lucio personally so i can't relate, but i know this type of double standards very well. I have a friend who hates Sandalphon, while loving a lot of very irredeemable villains at the same time, and it's fully because "i can't believe he tricked me by pretending to accept my friendship before throwing me in the void :(" and everytime they mention that i have to joke that "dude you love Belial. And a hundred others characters who tricked you before." and then they end up being like "I KNOW I CAN'T HELP IT It'S SEXY WHEN THE VILLAINS DO IT, BUT SANDALPHON FOOLED ME!!!"

there's often this type of double standards like this where for some reasons you draw the line with some characters or on the contrary let it slide with others, so it's actually pretty funny.

#for instance i love liar characters #i love people who join groups to deceive them and put on an act and lie about their intentions #often because they come with nefarious reasons to join the group #this is like MY jam. i forgive this type of character a lot even though they end up becoming manipulative at times #yet everyone on here have also been able to see how violently i reacted to Felix who did just that #(in retrospect i do like Felix but i hate that his presence removes Troue from the story and i like Troue more than him)#(but that's the struggle with my other fav type re: amnesia boys with massive fear of who they used to be)#double standards like that are really fun at times #can't relate when it comes to Lucio in particular because his antics are up my ally #but i know the feeling ahah #ichareply #ichafantalks gbf #anonymous
